totally random texture thread

Yeah it's an awesome design Peri. Is the fade from bright to dark as you go from top to bottom meant to be baked in lighting, or discolouring of the actual surface? Would be neat to have this as a bottom layer version for floor height, then more consistantly brightness version for vertical stacking should the situation call for it. Totally agree with Philip that this is begging for a normal map

Peris I love it, it totally rocks! Do you think you could possibly do a step-by-step to help us people who aren't all clued up about making sci-fi metal stuff? Would really help me out a lot

I just completed these two textures. I was initially making a tarmac base texture, but decided to continue from there and make a road variation. Comments are highly appreciated. 1024x1024, so I'll just link them.

Looks so good!

Do you work for Off-Limits mod by chance? ;o

No, but I've been asked that a million times.

Looks great, Stefan.

I seriously need some crits on this. Personally, I think it looks awful...

fesking win

Reminds me of the first screenshots released of the Unreal Engine 3. Great work

Jesus H. Christ.....how the hell am I suposed to follow that, lol.

Anyway I don't really come around the texture forum, mainly beacause I don't know shit about texturing, but I'm trying to learn. My first real attempt at a texture...Was trying for somthing Japanese. It was mainly a learning experience

Kinda struggled getting the top to look like the bottem. Oh and its low res beacause I literally had no idea what I was doing...

some criticism:

-woodenplanks are too straight. make them irregular. i showed vivi some time ago.

-the material is too blurry. go get some highres images

-the material is just an overlay. you should make it match flow of the wood planks. (the upper stronger wood is horizontal. the material is vertically aligned. change it!) your edges should be clearly defined too(add 45° borders).

-the shadows are pretty hard. make them more soften

Quote from hessi

generalvivii think your wood is too "linear"

look at this:

the left is yours the right is as i should be. this linearity is too unnatural. organic stuff is always unregular. repetitions are rare. try to get off this single polygonselection stuff. when i see it, its like "zup zup copy past zup zup layer effect DONE"

more love please

PhillipK owns me.

Huh, nice philip.

good job phillipK.

one thing I saw, the bottom of the pillars is wider than the top part of the pillars, an easily fixed problem.

it's supposed to be like that

(i just noticed that on the right side of the window frames, in the middle, the frame is a little distorted

Long time no post...

Some nice stuff in this thread.

I had an urge to do something different than the usual stuff I do

so this is what I came up with.

A space ship door I think.

Wanted to combine old mechanical look with something high tech.
